Join us January 15th for an AMA with Champion Achaia Walton, who will be talking about her article on Event-Based Reporting and Measuring Content Groups!
I don't know how I can filter on content starts with a preroll.
I want to get a calculated metric like ad starts / content starts to measure the content starts that we lose due to a preroll (so I just want to integrate content starts with a preroll)
I assume that you're not using Adobe Media Analytics.
Are you sending Custom Link beacons when a preroll starts, and another Custom Link beacon when the actual video starts? If so, could you take the difference between those 2 Custom Link instances?
Unfortunately, I haven't used Adobe Media Analytics myself. But my understanding is that it can report on ads separately from your videos. Could you create a Calculated Metric, e.g. "video starts", that subtracts ad starts from content starts? This assumes that all of your videos have pre-rolls.
